Band back to Veterans Day Parade over 30 years later

A letter writer recently pointed out the lack of high school bands in this year's Veterans Day Parade. He incorrectly stated that only one local high school band participated in the parade.

The East Nashville Magnet School Marching Eagle Band was also a participant in the parade this year. The letter writer was not aware of this because we marched without a banner proclaiming the name of the school. This is the first year since the late 1980s that East has been able to have a marching band. Under the direction of Frank Zimmerer, the marching band is off to a great start and excitement is building.

We welcome community support for our school and marching band. We are in the first stages of getting band uniforms and other necessities.

Be sure to look for the Marching Eagles in next year's Veterans Day parade - and every year thereafter.
